Hello. I am trying to send Gmail attachments I receive automatically to an attachments column in Airtable. I finally realized that Airtable wants the URL in array form, which I can do. However, I have not figured out how to use the array functions toArray, map, or add to append the files instead of overwriting and keeping the last one. I have searched and read numerous posts in both the Make and Airtable communities. This is my most recent attempt at make.com.My ultimate goal is to allow students to email their attachments and have them appear in the portal I built with Softr.I feel like I am so close. Thank you.

i have a button field that run a script, i need to get tha field id(recordId) after press the button in the script, in some examples they recommend to use recordAsync(), but i have to chose the record, and i need to get it after press the button

My workflow is based on priority levels, so I'm trying to create a "Due date" field based on the last time a record was updated. What am I doing wrong is there a better way to create this date? 

I've created on a base a table template with several formulas that I'd like to duplicated for the various projets that I managed but when I try to copy / sync  the table to another base, all my formulas are not transfered and the columns with the Formula Field Type are changed to a Number Field type.Is there an automatic way to copy the formulas or do I have to manually copy/paste them on each new base ? I've left some some images for reference, as you can see the field type is completely different and dont include my formulas.Thanks,

Hi everyone, ready for a super stupid question?? ahhaI'm playing with interfaces and I have a question: " what is the difference between "invite by link" with read only and "share publicly"?  thank you very much! 

In actual databases, I can explicitly define which table holds the linked column, e.g., Table A has a foreign key field to Table B. So, if I look directly at Table B by itself, I wouldn't know that it has a relationship with Table A. But that's okay, because Table B isn't supposed to hold that information itself.But in Airtable, I noticed that when I put a linked field in Table A to Table B, instantly that field also appears in Table B. While that's very useful and helpful to understand the bigger picture of how things are interconnected, now I no longer know which table was the original one that established that relationship.The purpose that I need to know this is to transform an Airtable base into an SQL database schema, so I need to know the "native" fields of each table. Any tips, or anything I missed?

Hi everyone! I'm working on a project to track and monitor my Airtable automations. I want to create a base that will automatically populate with all my existing automations and update every time an automation runs. This way, I can easily view the run history of all my automations in one place, without having to check each one individually. Is it possible to connect automations to a base and track their run count automatically? I've reviewed the documentation but couldn't find a solution. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Hi. Thanks in advance for any help.I'd like to take a table with dated records in them, then group them by month-Year.How do I take a date format and make a field that will allow me to show the latest records at the top for a particular month? For example:2024 - 2 (all records follow)2024 - 1 (all records follow)2023 - 12 (all records follow)etceteraThen of course as we add newer records at the top, they'll continue.Thanks!  

The objective of the code is to select the options that are in the array for a multiple select field. I don't understand why it never allows adding options even if they are exactly the same as those in the table. It is an automation script. Thanks in advance for the help.  let table = base.getTable("TABLE"); // the table is correct let fieldName = "Technology"; let recordId = "recXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"; // the record id is correct let selectedOptions = ["AI", "Augmented Reality"]; let record = await table.selectRecordAsync(recordId); if (record) { let currentValues = record.getCellValue(fieldName) || []; let newValues = [ ...currentValues.filter(opcion => selectedOptions.includes(opcion)), ...selectedOptions.filter(opcion => !currentValues.includes(opcion)) ]; await table.updateRecordAsync(recordId, { [fieldName]: newValues }); console.log(`Record ${recordId} updated with options: ${newValues.join(", ")}`); } else { conso

Hello, I'm using the duration field to track recorded audio sessions that vary in length. Currently have it formatted as (HH:MM:SS) to account for sessions that are both multiple hours long and less than an hour long. When I have sessions that are less than an hour long, Airtable won't display a zero value in the hour slot. Ex: a session is 30 minutes and 6 seconds, but Airtable displays it as 30:06. This makes it appear as if the session is 30 hours and 6 minutes long. I would prefer it to display as 00:30:06 for clarity. Does anyone know how I can get the field to display zero values? 

I teaching myself automations and have a requirement I cannot figure out how to get to work. Love ideas.I need to set up a daily automation that looks at all of the records in a certain table and if any record has yesterday's date, send a single email to the recipient that includes a link to a view to look at the data. So the logic would be something like in table X, count number of records where payment date = yesterday. If count > 0, send an email with a link to a view that shows all the records with payment date = yesterday.Thank you!!!

I am syncing my Google Calendar with airtable - one way: I'm adding the bookings on Google Calendar and they display on my airtable calender view. Today, none of my bookings after tomorrow is showing on my Airtable. Is there something wrong? 

I'm creating a script to compare two rollup fields and add the values both share into a third column. The fields roll up linked record fields and return them as just the text in a comma-separated list. Airtable documentation says rollup fields are an array; it looks like this is technically true, but it seems to be an array of a single string. When I log.console the cell value (note, I'm using getCellValue, not getCellValueAsString), I get ["Category 1, Category 2, Category 3"]. I want to get an array of multiple strings: ["Category 1", "Category 2", "Category 3"]. I'm very new to Airtable, so before I try to figure out ways within my script to separate the one string using the commas and all that, I want to make ask:1. Is this single string output the expected behavior, or is my script calling it incorrectly?2. If it's normal, is there way to configure the rollup fields to instead keep them as separate items?

I found a great Airtable template but I can't for the life of me figure out how to get that template into my existing base. I get it that I can sync and then remove the sync, but the reason the template is so cool is because of the multiple tables, views and interfaces.Am I right that I would have to sync each table in the template to my base and then edit to get all of the configurations, like views and interfaces?I also understand that I can make a copy of the template and sync my existing tables to this new base and then delete the old one, but this means that all of the links I've shared out will no longer work, which leads to frustration and less uptake of the toolIf I understand this right, templates are designed only for when you're starting a brand new base and not good for adding to existing bases. Is this correct? I feel like I'm missing something! ETA: I see this feedback from 2017 but I'm only the 3rd person to upvote it in 7 years. Is this really not possibl

Dear all, when I prepare the message of a mail to be sent in an automation, some field (eg.: coming from a column with formula (concatenate)) are different from the original.In particulare the character "_" is lost and even "\\" is changed to "\\".Less important: also some emojis are changed. Could you help me to fix the issue?Thank you very much.Best regardsA.

Hi allI have an Orders Table and an Order Line Items table.I have a Date Required field within the Orders Table which is linked to my Order Line Items table.I want to have an Updated ETD (estimated time of departure) field against each line item so it is separate from affecting the overall order ETD (i.e. each line item with one order can have a different ETD).Ideally I want to just show the format as mmm-yy (i.e. July-24)Any ideas on automating this so that the Updated ETD takes the Date Required data but can be editable? Thanks!

I have two numerical values, A and B, that I am using to create a range field. Here is my current formula:CONCATENATE({A}, "-", {B}). So far so good. The tricky part is that not all of the entries have a B value, in which cases the result will look like {A}-. Ideally I would like it to just return the single value from A without the hyphen in this scenario. I have tried using an IF to say IF(BLANK({B})) but here is where I get lost.  Any advice is appreciated! I am very new to formulas... 

Hi AllMy apologies if this is too simplistic - I’ve only got six months or so experience with Airtable…I suspect use case doesn’t matter here, since my “issue” is at the record and field level. Here is the scenario:- a form with some fields pre-filled is sent to a Client for additions and updates, is submitted by them, and creates a new record in an UPDATE table, separate from the main, “real” table; Clients often have no regard for “garbage in, garbage out”…- a manual review of the two tables “side-by-side” is performed to make sure data in each field is the type of data expected - both in text and attachment fields- an automation does an “Update Record” on the main table, using the data from the UPDATES table record, hence moving the new data to the Client's existing record in the main tableThe result is that blank fields in the UPDATE table overwrite existing data in the main table. BAD RESULT! At present, ALL fields are included in the update record automation, since there is no wa

I have 3 tables - Gift Hamper, Products, BOM Gift hamper - has list of gift hamper ids/namesProducts - have list of productsIn BOM we assign products & quantity to Gift Hamper (one gift hamper can have multiple products)While linking a product in BOM, I would like to see some values from Product columns (eg stock available). I would like to do this in grid format & not add each row individually using form.How do I do so? 

Hi there,I am new to using automations and hopeful this is something I'm just overlooking. I'm having trouble with an automation for a "Shift Reminder" SMS.Goal is:1. At a Trigger time find records with a Start Date of "day after" trigger2. Send SMS to associated cell numbers with each trigger to remind of shiftI have no issues if there is only one record returned. The SMS goes through without issue. If there is a second record returned the first record SMS goes through but the second record SMS is ignored.Would be so appreciative of any help! Thanks!  

I am currently in the process of using Airtable to build a new shipping schedule. I have grid view set up so it is grouped by delivery date because it is very important for management to be able to quickly see how many pools are scheduled to ship out on any given day. The problem is that when an order is canceled, it still appears in the count. Is there any way to exclude certain records from being included in that count? Thank you.

Thanks in advance everyone - Tried searching but couldn't find anything recent/relevant Currently we are using email automations to conditionally send first articles to our customers to approve, which works - but I'd like a more elegant solution. In an ideal situation, once a record matches certain conditions, it sends a form (interface or other) pulling the image from our base, and the customer can use a check box / comment section to send approval back to us - and updates our records with the checkbox selected and or comments sent.Thanks again - If I missed anything in my search, another advanced thank you for pointing me in the right direction.                                                                   

Hi,  I am very new to AirTable but have a lot of relational DB experience years ago, using first dBase, then MS Access.  I am working on a simple project for my golf club that calls out for a RDB solution.  I have started learning AT, but am stuck at a very basic level. Can anyone please advise?  I have read countless posts and watched videos and I somehow feel I am missing something very basic.Here is the problem simplified down to the most basic level.  I have two tables, Members and Rounds Played.  The fields in Members are their unique Member ID first, then lots of Member details, like name, address, phones, etc.  Rounds played has three fields.  The first is the Member ID, then the month, and finally the # of rounds played that month.  From my background this is a pretty easy 1 to many relationship, the tables linked by the Member ID.   In my old world, Member ID would be the primary key for the Members Table, but I have learn

Hello! I have a formula to count how many workdays are left between a data and “today” and when the reference data is “after today”, the output returns a negative number (as it should). I am looking for a way to get my formula to only return “0” when that situation occurs. I haven’t figured out the nested if statement logic to make it work. Does anyone have a solution to this? Thank you!

HelloI'm looking for some assistance with my base design. I come from a SQLServer background and can do this easy here but not getting the best way to build for AT...The ScenarioI have a list of users and a list of products.  It's collectibles so I want to be able to know what users have what products, and more importantly which don't they have.In SQL I'd just create a UserProduct table and pretty much create a record for every user for every product and just record it there (not hugely scalable I know but not a big issue).In AT I already have the two base tables Users and Products.  I know once I have the base data I can create Got/Not Got views easily but that base table is baffling me - probably over thinking!!!I'm sure it's easy but I'm just not getting itTIAMike
